The first frost has been pushed back a little longer so they should get nice and big. I've already picked a few and used them in pastas, sandwiches and a gumbo. I have to admit that they aren't as big as the ones in the stores but they taste way better.Here is a view with several different peppers in the picture. Unfortunately I don't know what some of the peppers are since I sprinlked some mixed pepper seeds in with all of it just in case they were still good. No sense in wasting seeds. It's made a very interesting grouping of peppers. They are all different sizes and hopefully soon more colors will come to the fore.
I just better not forget to pick them or my wife will probably shake her head at me and sympathetically pat me on the back to comfort me in my time of mourning.
Lovely peppers! I had my last pepper harvest months ago... so yes, I would like to have a pepper!
ReplyDeleteThey usually are not a big as ones in supermarket because they are not full of growing hormones and pesticides. And the taste can’t be compared!

My husband grows the peppers in our family. He grows the 'hot as hell' varieties, and I am not a fan of those. I love the bells, red,green, and yellow, and some mild jalapenos. I love pepper plants, tho, and grow a lot of them in my flower gardens. I have 'chili pequin' plants growing in the fairy garden, and they provide the shade of tall trees for my fairy houses. I find volunteer peppers everywhere! Husband could have planted them, he is always throwing seeds out.
